Not sure if you have sorted this but move the head backwards until you see and exposed hex grub screw under the position of the stop, remove this along with spring and the pin comes out.
I got an Aciera F3 myself and really like it.
Never the less i have a problem with the little pin acting as a spindle lock on the head stock. The gear teeth on the end are worn out. some one in the past have probably forgott it when starting the machine.
do you know how its mounted? I can’t find any stop screw or something holding it in place
Hi Magnus,
I’m not near my F3 at the moment, but I seem to recall there is a screw/pin that holds the spindle lock in place – from the back of the head?
I’ll try and have a look for you.
Regards, Matt
Good work on the project and maintaining the website, it is a lot of effort!
I recently bought an F3 and I am looking for a parts manual, if you have one electronically available, will you be able to mail it to me? I would appreciate it! my email address is kobus@propcorpl.co.za.
Hi Matt, how can I reach out to you via email ?
Got some F3 related questions while I am restoring mine..
All the best,
Matthias
I have no idea why I never get emails from these posts. I’m sure you are sorted now but let me know if you still need help.

Do you have a parts diagram?

Hi, Does your F3 have a rounded head or a square type head? I can email a manual. Rgds, Matt
